Elcometer 134S Chrloride Ion Detection Kit for Blast Cleaned Surfaces
SURFACE PROFILE MEASURING EQUIPMENT
Accurate surface profile measurement is essential to a quality coating job.  With these gauges and guides, you'll be sure exactly what the profile of your surface is.

 

Model
Elcometer 124 Thickness Gauge, for measuring the peak-to-valley height of a profile formed in Testex Tape
Elcometer 123 Surface Profile Gauge
TESTEX REPLICA TAPE
There's nothing better to measure the peak-to-valley height of the profile than Elcometer 122 Testex Tape.  Consisting of foam with a non-compressible backing, the tape is sure to provide a permanent replica impression of the surface profile.
